Pandoc: self-contained: problem with audio tag and opus files

[geh]

This happens in pandoc 2.0.5 compiled with pandoc-types 1.17.3.

When running: pandoc -f html -i a.html -t html5 -o b.html -s --self-contained

With the contents of a.html being:

~

The output b.html file contains the jpg file correctly inlined but none of the audio tags are present, which is strange since pandoc's source code in the SelfContained module indicates that audio tags are supported.

Now if a.html contains:

~

~

Then it is converted to

But this is not the case with the following:

~

~

In which case pandoc says: "Could not determine mime type for `example.opus' ".

A little bit of progress : the disappearing of <audio> tags already happens without --self-contained.

Can you try:

pandoc -f html+raw_html

I guess opus would need to be added to https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/blob/master/src/Text/Pandoc/MIME.hs

btw, pandoc only supports a subset of html natively (the rest is carried along as raw html), so if you’re going from html to html, there are better tools for that...

I've added opus to the mime types list.
The other thing you need to do is use -f html+raw_html, as noted by @mb21.
With the dev version and this change, it should work.
